I watched it because I'm a huge "Wizard of Oz" fan and it totally took me back to my childhood days of reading the "Wizard of Oz" books and dreaming of wonderful magical Oz. That's just a female perspective though.

I did think Mila Kunis was miscast as the Wicked Witch and it became more and more obvious as film entered it's 3rd act.<br /><br />As for the effects, I think it was intentionally trying to recreate the look and feel of the original film with certain techniques.

Glad you liked parts of it, though I definitely understand the feeling of liking parts and not liking others(the last film I watched did that; it was great at the beginning and the middle but the ending was just..off. And they left a lot of stuff out).

I gave it a barely passing grade only because I thought there was JUST enough charm to make it bearable, but it certainly is nowhere near the level of the original (although it was much better than the thwarted would-be sequel "Return to Oz"...horrifying stuff).<br /><br />It was a bit drawn-out and long, but on the whole, not terrible but not great either.Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16611922269342141654noreply@blogger.com
